Tractor with a broken axle at De Rijp, North-Holland. Look like it is not going anywhere soon.

All four active six axles on the Delaware & Lackawanna roster lead the Pocono Turn across Larson Lake and Snag Pond as they approach Tobyhanna, Pa, on a frigid but beautiful sunny January morning. The consist includes M636 #3643, M630 #3000, C636 #3642, and M630 #3007 still in its GE Lessor paint.
Axle loves to play with drink straws!!!!!! He will actually steal the straws from my fountain drinks! LOL Here he is in mid air trying to get his straw.
With two four axle Alco's and 8 cars in tow, the Sunday edition of the Delaware Lackawanna's PO74 local runs south through the Army control point outside of Tobyhanna, Pennsylvania where the spur into the Tobyhanna Army Depot splits off from the main. The crew will drop these cars in Tobyhanna before heading to Pocono Summit to pick up grain empties from the mill.

4-axle diesel shunter of Máv Rail Tours, M44 076 is picking up the pace shortly after leaving Balassagyarmat station.
The (relatively) lightweight loco had to deliver 4 wagons worth of track ballast to Szécsény on this mostly clear autumn day. Thanks to the unusual paint scheme on the engine, it's easy to mistake it for a fifth self-unloading car at first sight.
The tracks to the left of the train also belong to Line 78, leading in the direction of Aszód (Hatvan), which can be reached by changing direction at Balassagyarmat station.
Laat op de avond staat motorwagen X van de Pöstlingbergbahn in Linz gereed voor de laatste rit naar de top van de berg. De motorwagens van de bergtramlijn droegen romeinse cijfers. We hebben dus met de tiende motorwagen van de lijn te maken.
De nachtfoto is in 1977 vanaf statief gemaakt. Dat hulpmiddel heb ik gedurende mijn gehele reis door Oostenrijk meegezeuld. Door de ontwikkeling van de digitale fotografie is het maken van avondopnames er heel wat eenvoudiger op geworden.
Meer avondopnames vindt u in de set "De tram behoort de nacht".

Southern Pacific GP60 No. 9757 and a pair of B39-8E locomotives pull a 47 car Kansas City to Oakland Forwarder through Riverton, Utah on July 10, 1994.
Well documented by many other railfans, the looming demise of the WNYP's six axle MLW's drew me to Olean for a pair of recent trips before it was all over. The second of which was with my brother Mark and despite some minor issues with the weather, we netted some gems from the journey including a night shoot with five of the Big M's on display. There was no Driftwood job on this day so after following the Salamanca and Farmer's Valley jobs we enjoyed a lovely meal at the Beef and Barrel. Afterwards, the weather still hadn't really cleared but Mark suggested we persist and by the time we got back to the shops, the rain had stopped. I think the result was definitely worth the effort!
There's nothing sweeter than the low light on a crisp winter morning falling on Action Red.
Two clean Beavershield-ACs work an eastbound grain empty uphill towards Kicking Horse Pass on January 14, 2001. The axle count was 460 with no distributed power needed.
We took up the chase to Field, nailing it five times. To our disappointment the sunlight left us pretty soon. The material of the chase remains unscanned, however.

With a set of helpers shoving hard on the rear, Rio Grande train 79 meets a set of light helpers as it claws westward through Price Canyon between Lynn and Kyune.
Even with 26 SD45s on the roster, D&RGW was largely a four axle powered railroad until 1974 when 73 SD40T-2s joined the roster, followed by 17 SD50s in 1984.

The Terminal Railroad SD60I twins bring what is probably T101 down the Illinois Transfer; destination: KCS East St. Louis yard. A nice surprise after a late start with the kiddos on a Sunday morning, and I finally get 4001 leading in decent light.
For those who know the area, note the removal of the intermediate signals a block north at the Ridge Avenue crossing.
Axle loves my new comforter set!
Sorry I haven't been online much. I was busy this weekend and today I left work early feeling sick.
Three Metra SD70MACHs line up side-by-side at the north concourse of Union Station during the onset of the afternoon rush on New Year's Eve. A fourth MACH is parked just behind me and a fifth will bring an inbound train into CUS shortly.
Providence & Worcester train CT-1 heads north on the Middletown Branch with three C40-8s pulling a big train for Reeds Gap.
7 4 axles of the Arizona & California throttle up leaving Rice, CA with a piggy back train for the Santa Fe at Cadiz. I could have done without the mismatched SW but at least in this view it is the 5th unit back instead of 2nd like when they left Parker. I made several business trips a year to Phoenix in the first half of the 90's and with all the opportunities around at that time, it was always hard to decide where to spend any extra time. On this trip, I was all set to go to the ATSF Transcon but Northern Arizona was socked in for the first day. So I made my only stop at the A&C. 9/30/1994
One of the last remaining units from Milwaukee Road days, F40C #614 leads an outbound train at CP Morgan in March of 2012.
Railroad car wheels/axles piled together at the site of a railroad accident. The wheels/axles were removed from the cars before the cars themselves were carted away.

Lancaster and Chester 6002 an SD40T-2, 7092 an SD40-2, 8770 an SD60M, all sitting idle in Chester, SC. Hated to not catch them in motion.
A Northtown to Chicago stack train was hustling through Waterman on the C&I with a trio of four axle motors no longer plying the main line.
BN GP28M 1502 was rebuilt from a Northern Pacific GP9 and was looking good in Cascade Green.
Trailing was a former Santa Fe GP7u and a B23-7, making a nice sight as they zipped along the C&I.
The huge 6-axle Stadler Euro Dual locomotive 2159 207, operated by DB Cargo, runs a tank car train through Gemünden am Main station (Bavaria / Germany) late in the evening at 9 p.m.

Harbor's last remaining 6 axle leads a healthy train from the Belt Railway as they prepare to yard in Riverdale.

Something different for F unit Friday - six axle BN F45s. A pair of the cowls roar past the ex-NP depot at Cheney, Wash. on June 29, 1979. Two workers are actually washing the windows on the depot!
Tacoma Rail's new SD70ACes 7001 and 7002 make easy work of a cut of cars at what is alternately referred to as Muni or Belt Line Yard.
Go figure - parts of Washington state are on fire due to weeks with no rain - until I show up with the first big storm of the season. Glad I could help; sorry for the 50mph gusts though.

Swiss Federal railways Re6/6 #11647 with a northbound passenger working over the BLS route, approaching Blausee-Mitholz. September 1996.
Metra F40C #614 sits inside Shop 5 for some brake work at Western Avenue for undisclosed reasons, of which will be announced soon. Neat to catch a rare glimpse of the oldest and newest six axle power in the fleet, side-by-side. The 614 is named and labeled for a former Chicago Federation of Labor Leader and one time Metra Board Member, Mr. Edward Brabec.
A perfect lubricant for fine carriages, carts, wagons, waterwheels, etc .
One lb. tin Mica Grease:
Guaranteed not to gum, nor run from the axle, and to preserve from rust or tarnish all polished metal surfaces…
Half the usual quantity is required.
Made by Frazer Lubricants, Maspeth, New York
Manufacturer of lubricating oils, greases, compounds and plumbage products.
Text is from the rear of the tin.
Circa 1900 (my guess)

The local power assigned to CSXT L010 (formerly B731) rests in the former New Haven Readville Yard waiting for the crew to show up later to make their regular weekday turn up to Framingham and back. Six axle power is a bit unusual here these days and normally all you'll find in this small outpost is three GP40-2s, but back in Penn Central and Conrail days it was commonplace when they ran a Selkirk to Readville thru freight. CSXT 8822 is right at home here as she was blt. Sep. 1977 as CR 6413.
Readville is a neighborhood on the very southern edge of the city bordering the tony community of Milton. In fact it is 9.2 miles as the crow flies from this spot to South Station, but it's still technically in Boston! The locos sit almost on the city line and in fact the yard office just south of here out of sight to the left is actually in the down of Dedham.
